Cruising Arizona

My mom & I have recently taken some day trips around southern Arizona. It probably doesn't sound exciting to most people, but we love to see where roads go, and what various parts of the state look like. Last week we did the mining town tour -- San Manuel, Mammoth, Winkleman, Hayden, and Kearny. We liked Kearny the best. Yesterday we started out in the same direction, going through Mammoth and Winkleman, then up toward Globe before turning east toward Safford. We detoured through the town of San Carlos on the Apache reservation, then went to Coolidge Dam and along the south side of San Carlos Lake, then on to Pima, Bryce, Thatcher, Safford, then home through Willcox and Benson. A long day, but great weather, and beautiful and interesting scenery. Oh yes, and I learned that Pima cotton is not named for Pima County, but for the town of Pima, Arizona.
